Study Of Ferroelectric Oxides And Field Effect In Complex Oxides Heterostructures, Lu Jiang Aug 2014

Study Of Ferroelectric Oxides And Field Effect In Complex Oxides Heterostructures, Lu Jiang

Doctoral Dissertations

With the rapid development of technology, the need for novel materials and state-of-theart devices is growing fast. Complex oxides which have strongly correlated electrons are favorable candidates for materials industry, due to their rich phase diagrams and multiple functions. Especially, ferroelectric oxides is very promising materials in the industry for storage, due to their bistable polarization states triggered by external electrical field. This thesis is centered on ferroelectric oxides, analyzing their lattice structures and investigating the interface of ferroelectrics and other complex oxides to examine the potential of the heteostructures in the application in electronic devices.

Neutron Scattering Studies Of Cuprates And Iron Pnictides, Mengshu Liu May 2014

Neutron Scattering Studies Of Cuprates And Iron Pnictides, Mengshu Liu

Doctoral Dissertations

Presented within are neutron scattering studies of several different high temperature superconducting materials: BaFe1.9Ni0.1As2 [Barium Iron Nickel Arsenic], BaFe1.85Ni0.15As2 [Barium Iron Nickel Arsenic], Ba0.67K0.33Fe2As2 [Barium Potassium Iron Arsenic], and Pr0.88LaCe0.12CuO4-y [Praseodymium Lanthanum Cerium Copper Oxide]. The main focus is on the magnetic excitations within the systems.

For BaFe1.9Ni0.1As2 [Barium Iron Nickel Arsenic], we measured the intensity of its magnetic excitations and compared the results with excitations in antiferromagnetic non-superconducting BaFe2As2 …
